London’s downtown city center in very congested. It’s roads are so crowded that the city has been applying a “city-tax” to any motorists who want to enter the city center by car. Current motorists must pay £8 (about $15 U.S.) to enter London’s congestion zone. Originally, the program aimed to reduce traffic in the area. The latest changes, which will go into effect this October, are sharply focused on reducing emissions from high emission-producing vehicles. Drivers of high-pollution vehicles like SUV’s and exotic sports cars will have to pay £25 (just under $49) to enter the same area.

Any cars or trucks that emit more than 225 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer will be subject to the increased charge. The new policy also promotes the use of low-emissions vehicles through an incentive promising to eliminate any congestion charge for vehicles that produce less than 120 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. Cars like Toyota’s Prius and other hybrids as well as cars like the Smart are all going to benefit. Still only the most frugal cars meet the requirements and most will still be stuck paying a tax to enter the city center.
